In the present work, we demonstrated the upcycling technique of effective wastewater treatment via photocatalytic hydrogen production by using the nanocomposites of manganese oxide-decorated activated carbon (MnO 2 -AC). The nanocomposites were sonochemically synthesized in pure water by utilizing MnO 2 nanoparticles and AC nanoflakes that had been prepared through green routes using the extracts of Brassica oleracea and Azadirachta indica, respectively. MnO 2 -AC nanocomposites were confirmed to exist in the form of nanopebbles with a high specific surface area of ~109 m 2 /g. When using the MnO 2 -AC nanocomposites as a photocatalyst for the wastewater treatment, they exhibited highly efficient hydrogen production activity. Namely, the high hydrogen production rate (395 mL/h) was achieved when splitting the synthetic sulphide effluent (S 2- = 0.2 M) via the photocatalytic reaction by using MnO 2 -AC. The results stand for the excellent energy-conversion capability of the MnO 2 -AC nanocomposites, particularly, for photocatalytic splitting of hydrogen from sulphide wastewater.
